    So my mate crashed my E30 @ 140km/h..

    Hey all,

    Let my mate drive my car for literally 10 minutes and being the fuckwit he was he crashed it, hitting the gutter at over 135km/h and it's fairly fucked but repairable I'm sure.

    From inspection it looks as though the rear axle, front lower control arm, wheel bearings and god knows what else are stuffed.

    The rims are beyond repairable and re-useable so I have a question.

    Where is the best place to source 2 more rims? I live in Australia so locally would be appreciated, but if I can't find anything here I may have to delve overseas.

    They are 16" Racing Dynamics. Here are them on the car:


    Secondly, I really love these rims I found but I'm unsure of their name.. I was told "Type A" .. but I put that into google images and I only can find a couple pictures of them.

    These are them:


    So, where is the best place to source either one of these rims, preferably locally.. if not internationally?

    Thanks,

    Nick.

          I think I agree. Azev A's look similar to the Racing Dynamics?

                  Yup, hes paying hahaha.

                  Physically the body of the car looks fine, except the rims are cracked and bent.. and there is one little stratch on the rear but thats it. And except for the fact the wheel faces outwards when the steering wheel is straight.

                  They look nice, but also look like racing dynamics?

                    you say that like it's a bad thing, haha. I'd take those RD's any day.

                    And this is why I don't let other people drive my e30. It would kill me if something happened to it, especially if I wasn't the one who caused it...

                      Is there a gap at the top of the door where it meets the body?

                            I know Levent at Gutenparts had a full set when I was there last summer but in 5x120. Shipping may be expensive, however.
